Gymkhana

Two events have delivered two new winners and sets the scene for a fantastic 2009 gymkhana season. Jehan de Jongh and Johan Swart won the opening 4th Glomix Bricks and Blocks Flamingo’s Langebaan Gymkhana in their WBMK GK Engineering class C VW Golf MkI 1600 and on Saturday 21 February 2009 it was Jacques du Plessis (Ceres) and Walter van Dyk (Ceres) that rattled the senior competitors with a stunning debut overall victory in their very rapid WBMK du Plessis Auto class C Toyota Conquest RSi 1600.

To date Jehan de Jongh and Johan Swart won the 4th Glomix Bricks and Blocks Langebaan Gymkhana at Flamingo's on 31 January 2009, and managed to make history by parking the rapid class C GK Engineering VW Golf MkI 1600 on it's roof! Then Jacques du Plessis and Walter van Dyk took everybody by complete surprise when they won the 1st Fairbridge Mall Brackenfell Gymkhana in spectacular fashion on 21 February 2009, the red class C Toyota Conquest RSi 1600 finally breaking the VW domination of the series.

Having achieved virtually everything possible in his Ford Escort 1600 Sport Johann Zulch announced his retirement from rallying at the end of the 1997 WP season. A lack of funding to progress to a more modern and competitive vehicle one of the biggest motivaters but fortunately he remained active in his assistance with the promotion of the sport and organising of rallies under the Witzenberg Motorklub banner. Facing a similar dilemma as navigator “retirement”lasted until approached by a very determined David Louw. Unfortunately our season came to a very abrupt end in August 1998.
